HUNT
I went by myself last night for a little while. I hunted Andy, Cy, and a pup I call Rebel. Rebel is a mate to Cotton, but is 6 mths old. Cotton is coming in heat so she is standing in the pen. First drop I cut all 3 dogs. Andy went left and Cy and Rebel went left. Andy went down the creek and at about 200 yds he just fell treed. I made my way to him and he had a coon up a huge water oak full of muscadines.
I looked at the Garmin and the two pups were 700 yds to the right. Cy was opening every once in awhile. I cut Andy the other direction down the creek. He struck in at over a mile. I barley could hear him so I moved closer. I soon heard him treed and drove around. He was treed in a pasture alongside a creek. He was on a huge den. I got him and cut him on down the creek. He struck quickly and at about 250 yds he treed. He had 2 up one tree right on the side of the road. I rolled one of them out to him. I loaded Andy up and went back around to check on the pups. Rebel came out to me but Cy is hard headed. He kept trying to tree but would not stick it. I finally walked in to him at about 400 yds just to see what was going on with him. There was a DEEP ditch and a hog wire fence that had just messed him up. He hasn't got enough experience to handle those situations just yet. I caught him up and called it a night. I liked the fact that Cy is independent and doing his own thing. A few more easy coons will get his confidence built on up. Y'all Keep'em Lookin' Up!!!
